Ballet started to boom when the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo (the Russian Ballet) toured in America around the turn of the century. Soon, some of the company settled in the states, and from there, the technique developed and spred. For more information, there is a doccumentary called The Ballet Russes (or The Ballet Russes de Monte Carlo). Many of the original members are still alive, and if you track them down, are still willing to mentor and teach. I have actually had many classes with George Zoritch, and my teacher has been studying with him since she was a little girl.
